    Nah, small wrists lol. 35.5 mm case diameter. So you can imagine how a 46 mm case diameter would make it look like I strapped a wall clock onto my arm...

    For me it is Pocket Watches (mechanical of course) all the way!

    Currently wearing a Charles-Hubert, Paris 3928 Classic Collection Chrome Finish Brass Mechanical Pocket Watch (a side winder.)
    A skeleton pocket watch that allows you to see the working parts.
    "Side winders" have the stem coming out at the "3" instead of the "12".
    You wind it up from the side -- get it?

    Pocket watches are as addictive as straight razors!

    I like mechanical automatics. My wife gave me a Tissot Le Locle for our 30 anniv.. Very partial to that for several reasons, not the least its a classy looking piece.

    Tissot makes some very nice looking watches. Most if not all of their references will have an ETA movement. This is a good thing as ETA make some real bullet proof movements. Very reliable. Yours will likely have one of their caliber 2000 series movements. Which one will depend on the complications of your watch reference. How about a wrist shot.
    Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

    Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.
